Not counting car shows, in one day, what's your record for seeing or spotting another IS 300 parked or driving ?
There a silver one in my neighborhood, and occasionally see it. And on a good day I'll see 3-4.
I see stupid TL-S and non Type S TL's all friggin day long, the have a cool engine....but they suck for exterior design, I also have a 2001 Accord V6 EX 4 door in my garage....it look's just like the TL....really want to sell the Acccord for a GS, but need to wait awhile.

A couple of weeks ago, I drove to San Francisco. I parked in this garage, and as I drove down through the levels, I saw 4 IS300's. Pretty amazing. There was another Black IS with a really nice body kit and LED in the front. The others all looked stock. I walked up a few levels to go look at the modified IS (very clean). Anyway, I was pretty shocked to see so many in one garage. I thought maybe it was an IS300.net Fast and Furious get together.

Many Many
There are a ton of other Lexi (is that the plural? ) in my area, just not a lot of IS300's. Dunno why they aren't catching on out here, but again, I like being one of only two that I see regularly. Warm fuzzies for me.

I don't see very many here in Atlanta. One guy has one here at work, but it so dirty! I think it was silver when he drove it off the lot...now it is graphite like mine! 
I hardly ever see ISs here though. Usually about 3/week, which I like..it makes mine stand out more!

Hmm.. I think the most I have seen in one day is 3 here in Toronto (Mostly Silver) but I haven't seen anyone with that Auburn Sky colour (Very different color to say the least).. For the IS owners with the Spectra Blue how is your paint holding up??
On my GS I find its a high maintenance color but it looks so sweet..

Well, ya gotta wash it a lot, but it looks so good! I have a couple of paint chips (only one on the hood and thankfully, that one is tiny) and two light scratches in the clear coat. (I LOVE cats, but not the owners who let them out to sit on people's cars.) I have 7100 miles on it now. Had the car since late September '00. At the 10K mile service I'm going to have them touch up the paint, polish out the scratches and apply another layer of clear coat.

2savvy: Fortunately, they don't salt roads here in the winter, so I should be able to keep the car looking realtively good if I keep after it. Even if it snows, they only use sand. Hmmm, if the touch up paint is darker, could that be because one is applying it on a car that is already weathered? Maybe I'll leave that tiny chip on the hood alone and just clear coat over it. The other two are actually showing white...but are in less obvious places.
Of course, I could always save up for a four-year birthday present for the car: New paint all over.

I don't see many here in southeastern Michigan. If I see another one on the road I am suprised. I know they are selling but I don't see many. I have had mine for nearly two months and have seen 5 or 6 others on that road in that time.
